Arborist Skills - Pruning Peach Trees in the Backyard 

Watch Tchukki Andersen describe how to rehab two little peach trees for fruit production.
Are they the most optimal tree stock in the most optimal growing site? Of course not. Additionally, they had the bejeesus “pruned” out of them three years ago, leaving the homeowner wondering why they didn’t get any peaches that year. So last year you managed to break in there with some restorative pruning, and the new growth the trees put on late last summer gives you some hope for the future outlook of these struggling plants.
